Ms Joan Gordon:

Construction. The sectors involved in appeals, which largely tend to be one-person appeals, include media, journalism, construction, IT consultancy, project management, lecturing, catering, research and development, bookkeeping, retail, driving, car repairs and maintenance, aviation, and tourism services. That is not an exhaustive list. Many of these cases are single-person appeals. We do not have many appeals to which a number or workers are attached in any particular sector. With regard to earlier years, we do not have appeal-specific files. The file belongs to the Department and is returned once the appeal is determined.

It is quite difficult to obtain the data without having all the files returned to us and reading them again from scratch to see what was at issue. We will endeavour to provide statistics for a few more years.
